POV: Victoria “Is there a problem miss, is there something I could help you with, is someone after your life?” The driver asked me, looking into the rearview mirror in fear to see if we were being followed. I forced out a reassuring smile, assuring him that everything was okay with me. He nodded in understanding, but he didn’t focus on his driving anymore. He kept gazing at me through the rearview mirror, his eyes filled with empathy as if I were a lunatic or an addict. I tried to sit still when I noticed that he was watching me, but I couldn’t shake off the feeling that I could be followed by those crazy guys.As if on cue, I received a text from Raphael the minute I got to the spot he asked me to stop. It was right next to a restaurant and I thought he would be waiting for me inside the restaurant. But Ralph is taking extra precautions today, he asks me to board another cab and drive around town for a few minutes. I didn’t just drive, he made me stop to pick up a few things on my
POV: Raphael She got into the car reluctantly, banging the door in anger. I feel like reaching out to her and strangling her. I’ve really been with strange guys in the past, I’ve dealt with my cousins, my uncles, and some of the meanest guys in this city. But none come close to Victoria, she is so tough to deal with. She drives me crazy with her actions, she makes me want to yell and thrash everything around me in anger. You won’t believe that she made me tell before she got into the fucking car. And when she finally got in, she started whining about my lack of empathy, giving me a silly attitude.She lost a bit of the attitude when we spotted the white SUV on our way out of there. I called my buddy at the prescient and asked him to keep the red light on that lane for twenty minutes. They are Dominic's boys and I know they will not turn back without getting her. He is such a crazy bastard, his boys would rather die trying than go back to him with excuses. When I saw them going in a
POV: Raphael Only a fool dares to steal from Dominic Morrell. I took a huge risk when I double-crossed him. It was just a business deal that was supposed to stop the trafficking of underage girls in the city. At that time, I thought I was doing the right thing, I was hell-bent on making this city better and I made such a stupid move that put me in such a terrible situation.You see, two years ago, when my family thought I was out of town studying to be the businessman they wanted me to be. I was actually here in this city, building my business network, and making my position known in the city. I made friends with some guys in the Mafia, and I got close to cartel rings, keeping my enemies closer like they say.I did all this to gain relevance in the city and know my way around. I made allies and friends in a few months, and I had one friend who helped me get around easily. His name was the one person I could trust, the one person who saw through my disguise before anyone else. His na
POV: Claire “Where are we going, Kyle, what do you have in mind?” I asked him as he sped along the busy road, driving so fast.“slow down, Kyle!Where are we going?” I asked him again, my eyes taking in the firm look on his face. We have been driving for over one hour and it’s beginning to look as if he doesn’t have any plans to check into a hotel or get a short-term apartment. He kept his eyes fixed on the road, ignoring me. “Slow down, Kyle!You’ll get us both killed!You can end your life if you have a death wish, but don’t fucking take me you!Slow this fucking car or pull over and let me out of here!” I scolded him furiously, earning a chuckle.“I didn’t force you to come with me, Claire. You chose to be here, you insisted on being here. So shut the fuck up and let me think!” he yelled back at me, sounding so mean and angry. “What did I do?” I thought within me. Why is he so angry with me? If he didn’t want me here, he could have just said so. Why is he being mean to me? I h
POV: Claire“Where the fuck do you think you are going?” he asked me fiercely, pushing me roughly on the wall repeatedly, trying to hurt me. “What the hell is wrong with you, What has come over you, Kyle!Stop it!You are hurting me!Stop it!” I yelled at him, but he wouldn’t let me go. He kept hitting me on the wall, making me scream in pain. The doorman and valet intervened and pushed him away from me. They pushed him so hard that he fell on his butt and yelped furiously. He was back on his feet the next second and he tried to attack them but they stood up to him and forced him to back up.“You are not going anywhere Claire, we are going to face this together because this is all your fault. I wouldn’t be in this pathetic situation if I wasn’t dating a fucking child who can not do anything without her sister. You caused this Claire, and you must fix it!” he yelled at me, pacing the walkway like a lunatic.“Are you fucking insane!” I screamed at him, shaking my head to clear my thoug
POV: Claire The more I waited, the more time passed, and the more frightened I became. I could feel my heart beating in my chest, it felt as if it would jump out of my chest any second. I clutched my chest, trying to hold my heart in. Kyle kept talking to the guys holding him, trying to bargain for his freedom. He sounded so dumb and stupid, I wonder how never saw this side of him before. Like, how the hell does he expect them to flip on their boss because of him?It’s like asking them to commit suicide for him and that is so dumb and stupid. He kept trying to bribe them with many things, he even offered them my sister's Diamond necklace, telling them about my sister's rich fiance and how he could get them more Diamonds if they helped him escape alive.“Shut the fuck up, dummy!If you think they would flip on their boss for a low life like you, then you are even more stupid than I thought. They are not like you, they don’t step on everybody’s toes and they don’t screw everyone over f
POV: Claire The moment he asked me that, my eyes involuntarily moved to the guy who had hit me and broken my lips. Before I could say that he was the one that hurt me, we all heard the sound of his gun going off and the next thing we heard was the scream of the guy I was lolling at. He had shot him in the ear, taking off one of his ears without blinking his eyes.“Nobody hurts her without my permission!She is my property and she is under my care until I decide whether I’ll keep her or not.He asked his boys to lock Kyle in the dungeon and get a room for me until he was back from a very important meeting.He took off his apron, grabbed his keys, and went out the front door, leaving me with these thugs who now hate me more than they hate Kyle.“You see,This is what I was trying to tell you all before. She is a witch and a seductress. She has a way of making you fall for her when you don’t want to. She tricks and manipulates you into thinking that you are special and that she desires
POV: Claire “Don’t you worry your pretty head about me, I have witness that would back me up when I tell him that you threw yourself at me and begged me to fuck you. It’s so easy to bitch, he would never doubt me because I’ve worked with him for almost six years now. And you?You are just the whore that came in a few hours ago. Imagine how he would feel when he finds out that you tried to play him. He will find out how cheap you are and you will face the same sentence as your boyfriend. I’ll tell him you threw yourself at me and begged me to fuck you and set you free.” He laughed. “Let’s see what punishment you will get for trying to trick the ruthless Mafia Lord, Dominic.” He told me confidently, smiling widely. The doorbell rang and some of the other guys walked in with some girls that looked like whores. He seemed familiar with the girls and he called them by names, talking dirty with them. He sat on the couch like a king with two girls on each arm caressing his abs while gi
